Tuesday Class Upcoming

As mentioned in the opening last week, on Tuesday we have a visiting lecturer: emeritus Professor Dr. Mason Harris, who has put together over his years of teaching an exceptionally informative slide show on William Blake, arranged for us in the context of our study on the Romantic engagement with Enlightenment science.

We will also need to make sure, through seminar, that we have a clear understanding of the position that Blake elaborates with characteristic potency in There is No Natural Religion. We can not be deceived by the brevity of the work: consider these works as artistic embodiments of the sensibility expressed in the opening quartet to Auguries of Innocence.
